To the Editor: I was reading Mr. Gray’s latest commentary “It’s Over” and found myself discouraged at the tone of the article and the division that Mr. Gray creates in an attempt to prove his point. Mr. Gray’s notion that today’s conservatism “has left America poorer, unhealthier, less united, and less secure than at any time since the aftermath of the Civil War” seems to ignore that conservatism has never had the governmental control that the progressive movement had during the last century and the first two years of the Obama administration. The Democratic Party controlled 2/3 of the government for the first…

Fatigue is a very common medical complaint among a wide variety of age groups. Anemia is just one of the possible causes. Literally, anemia means lack of “heme” or blood. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Without adequate hemoglobin, the body doesn’t get enough oxygen to carry out normal cell functions. The most common type of anemia is iron deficiency anemia. Iron is needed for the body to manufacture hemoglobin. Individuals can become iron deficient due to inadequate dietary intake of iron, during times of rapid…
Happy New Year! What is a gardener to do in the winter? Research and planning are both necessary steps in successful gardening. New or extended plant beds in the landscape is a common garden project that can be rewarding but also disappointing if not thought out thoroughly. Many gardeners rush around their yard in the spring looking for that perfect place for a new plant bed. They remove the existing vegetation, work the soil, install the plants, edge the bed, cover with mulch, and hurt their shoulder from patting themselves on the back because it looks wonderful. Then they walk…
L.C. Bird girls basketball is just one year removed from a 5A state finals appearance, and they are playing like a team that will do anything to return to the Siegel Center this year. After losing standouts Taja Cole (Louisville) and Tyra Shelton (Queens-Charlotte), the Skyhawks have done a great job of anchoring their team down around Angela Caraballo. She has been the driving force of their team this year with her talent and leadership. Coach Chevette Waller has nothing but praise for Caraballo. “She always knocks down big shots,” Waller said. “I can count on her whenever I put…
The Meadowbrook girls’ basketball team enters the New Year hot, with a 7-0 record. This success can be attributed to someone that was missing last year’s –guard, Nia Jenkins. After being named to second-team all-conference as a sophomore, Jenkins sat out last season because of personal reasons. This year, she is back and better than ever, often providing the spark for Meadowbrook on offense and defense. While the Monarchs could have used Jenkins last year, they are ecstatic that she is back this year to finish her high school career doing what she loves. To put it simply, Jenkins is…

In the early morning hours of Dec. 28, Hamilton, Ohio firefighters were battling a blaze in a single-family dwelling. The first arriving units had received information that there were possibly people inside. This information sets events into motion, namely the most dangerous mode that firefighters work under, the rescue mode. In this situation, firefighters are working without a rapid intervention team in place and may even be working without the protection of a hoseline. The end result of the Ohio incident is that there was no one home and a 28-year old firefighter lost his life, when the floor collapsed,…
Hunan is one of the “Eight Great Culinary Traditions” of Chinese cuisines and is well-known for its hot spicy flavor, fresh aroma and deep color. Every reason why the most popular dishes at Hunan Garden located in the Chesterfield Meadows Shopping Center West, would be the General Tso’ Chicken and the beef with broccoli. “I think every Chinese restaurant has these dishes but it seems we do it better,” said co-owner, Eric Hou. Hou and his brother in law Sam, have owned and operated Hunan Garden for 12 years. He said there was a family consideration to get into the…
Hello and welcome to the 2016 edition of the Dogpound. Seems strange saying that, but at least I have not written any checks using 2015 as the date. Anyway, the start of 2016 has not been overly pleasant. My old cell phone finally gave up the ghost. It would show me four bars but have no signal, or I would have no bars and it would work fine, or it would just show me the image of a phone with a cross over it. I took out the battery and SIM card, cleaned everything, put it back together, worked for…
